Sia

By: Eden O'Neill

Narrated by: Lacy Laurel, Gideon Frost

He’s known as the executioner for one of Chicago’s most dangerous crime organizations…

But I know him as my best friend’s father.

My name is Sia Reynolds. I’m a girl with an unsettling past, and the outlook of my future seems even bleaker. I need a job to get my life back on track so when my best friend (and only friend) Lettie suggests I work for her more than abrasive father I have little choice but to take her up on the offer. I had no idea that meant committing to a life of secrecy bathed in blood…

Nor how much I’d like it.

My name is Maxim Petrov, and my father is the head of the Chicago Bratva. I’m thirty-six-years old, and I want to make the young girl in my home bleed. I’d take great pleasure out of it, but what’s more alarming is what I’d like to do more. Sia Reynolds would look lovely flushed against my sheets, but she’s my daughter’s friend and nearly half my age. Pity as I’d enjoy seeing her tremble in a different way. I want to chase her as much as I’d enjoy a taste…

I may not be able to resist either.

Sia is a standalone contemporary dark romance inspired by Anastasia. It’s not a literal retelling, and the hero has so many red flags there’s no way I’m telling my mother I actually wrote this story. A full list of content warnings will be posted on the author’s website upon release.

Note: This book was partially published on Kindle Vella as a serial, but it’s now complete and ready. Nothing major has been changed about the story. Enjoy!

Feral

"I was Feral… "

I read Sia a little while ago and Loved the Book. Listening to the Audio was as if I heard the story for the first time though.
Definitely GREAT Audio. I enjoyed it very much.
Sia is the epitome of Innocence and then it would switch to Spice and Fire .
She is such an interesting character with so many layers and I loved her growth and interaction with Val, Lettie and Max.. of course..

Maxum…. Big, Broody, HOT… Obsessive and very… oh so very capable of so many good things.
I found myself getting sucked in.

The Narrators really enhanced the innocence vs hardened character sides so well.
They worked their magic into the story.

Please check your triggers as it might be in here if you are on the more sensitive side of a whole lot of somethings.

Spice in here, and if you have triggers with the more adventurous side of Spice be warned.

Fantastic story!!

This is how you write dark romance!! I may have just found a new instant read author!

Sia and Maxim

Sia and Maxim I loved the book when it first came out so I was so excited that the Audible was coming out. The Narrators were perfection. It is duet style and they captured Sia and Maxim beautifully Lacy Laurel and Gideon Frost did not disappoint one bit. The Russian Executioner and the girl with a troubling past. Mafia romance, best friends father, touch her and 💀 vibes.

Spectacular Audiobook

I read Sia when it came out and I loved the story. Maxim and Sia = HOTTT! The narrators of this audio book, Gideon Frost and Lacy Laurel respectively, brought this book even further to life. This was a duet style and both of them narrated this perfectly. I don't always enjoy the audiobook versions of books I have read, but this one, I will definitely be listening to it multiple times, it is that good!

wonderful

This narration brought this amazing book to another level. The characters came to life and it made me so much more excited to re experience the story a second time. I absolutely loved it.
